Several UU families have lost their houses in Colorado Springs, and the Mountain Desert District has set up a relief fund for assistance. Please consider contributing to this fund.

MidWest Leadership School (MWLS) develops lay leaders in the Unitarian Universalist (UU) community. The week-long intense program includes leadership, group and system dynamics, UU history and theology, and elements of worship. The program is designed to provide insights, confidence, and enrichment for each participant’s congregation, work, and personal life.
Led by lay and ordained staff with a deep understanding of UU congregations, a combination of lectures and small group encounters heightens understanding and the ability of lay leaders to navigate group process. Key 2012 faculty will include: Rev. Matthew Johnson-Doyle, minister at Rockford Unitarian Universalist Church, lecturing on Theology and UU History; Nancy Heege, Prairie Start District Executive, and Rev. Ian Evison, Central MidWest Congregational Services Director, coordinating leadership and group dynamics curricula; and Rev. Lisa Presley, Heartland District Executive, serving as school chaplain.
